Manchester United has revealed a list of four potential targets in their pursuit of a new striker. The club is eager to bolster their squad following a disappointing season that has seen them languishing in 13th place in the Premier League, effectively ending their hopes of European qualification.
Since taking over from Erik ten Hag in November, manager Ruben Amorim has expressed concerns about the team’s competitiveness. As a result, a significant revamp is anticipated in the upcoming transfer windows, with a priority placed on recruiting a new striker. United’s lackluster goal-scoring record, having netted only 27 times in the league this season, ranks below even strugglers like Wolves.
Reports from the Daily Mail suggest that Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, Matheus Cunha from Wolves, Liam Delap from Ipswich, and Jonathan David from Lille are on Amorim’s radar. These players have impressed United scouts, with particular interest in Mbeumo, although his current club is reluctant to part ways with him.
However, United’s pursuit of new signings may be hindered by the need to offload players to comply with financial fair play regulations. Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Kobbie Mainoo are all potential candidates for transfer, with Garnacho and Mainoo expected to yield the most profit.
While there is no guarantee that selling these players will lead to new acquisitions, Amorim is clear about his intentions to reinforce the squad. He faces a tight deadline to make additions, acknowledging the challenges of securing new recruits amidst ongoing matches.
Amorim emphasized the importance of retaining key players suited to the club’s style of play but acknowledged the need for reinforcements given the team’s current position. Discussions with potential buyers and clubs are ongoing, with decisions to be made in the coming weeks.
